Pacquiao outlanded Floyd

With or without sound?
At what speed?
Was the injurty factored in?
The IV?
Was it a fight in the outdoor stadium 5 years earlier?
Are you sure it was May vs Pac fight?

 

I think Mayweather landed more shots total but Pac definitely landed the harder punches. Once again, this has been beaten to death, but it was a jabbing contest.

 

Are you concluding from this that Pac won?

 

Pac may have landed harder, but any punch that forces a foe to reset should be considered effective, and Mayweather certainly forced Pac to do so. Mayweather landed more shots...and those shots were effective in allowing him to win most of the rounds.

 

I would think this goes without saying as Pac is a "harder" puncher.
Cory Spinks, Chris Byrd, Floyd at WW never land harder than anyone they fought against, yet
their hands were still raised. Harder punches aren't the whole story

 

Lol let me guess? "In slow mo"

 

Rewatch the fight. I'm sure you were distracted or imagining things. You were probably counting flurry punches in the 4 and 6th rounds that caused the PAC fans to cheer. As lederman was told during the fight. Judge with your eyes. Not with your ears.

I sometimes wonder about whether the definition of effective aggression should be expanded, though. Often, a fighter who circles/ fights off the back foot will still be the one initiating action against a fighter who is moving forward. So, the fighter who is moving forward isn't always the aggressor.

 

I agree that the yellow on Manny's trunks were more yellow than the gold on Floyd's was gold, all things considered.

 

'Effective aggression' is confusing and people have different interpretations.
It gets confused with clean punching when people say 'for aggression to be effective, you must land punches'.

In the May-Pac fight, the line is blurred further as Mayweather would run or hug in order to cause a reset whenever Pac feinted a punch and moved forward with a punch - this would be considered effective aggression by many. The attack would be rendered ineffective if Mayweather was to land a punch/get the better of the exchange.

Ultimately, May beat Pac from my own traditional way of scoring 116-112 on the basis of just 1 or 2 punches (most often light jabs) per round - they were very ultimately fairly evenly matched AND Floyd giving the impression that shots that actually landed by Pac, didn't land (a facet of ring generalship)

 

and threw the more telling blows and he won the more clearer rounds

 

Effective is the keyword. Coming forward might make you aggressive, but it doesn't mean you're being effective with your aggression.
